Due to a recent request by the creator of Kimagure Orange Road, Izumi Matsumoto, Digital Manga will now be offering the remaining Kimagure Orange Road Omnibuses, vol. 3-6 as early Add-Ons before reaching their originally intended stretch goals. Omnibuses vol.3-6 are now available for backers to add on to their existing pledges. Omnibus vol.2 is currently available also as an add-on, as it has reached its originally intended stretch goal.

Merchandise Add-ons, And New Orange Bikini PVC Figurine Reward Tier!

Gardena, CA (April 13, 2016)
Digital Manga, Inc.’s latest crowd funding campaign to fund omnibus editions of the classic manga series, Kimagure Orange Road, has answered the call for merchandise add-ons to be available from other reward tiers to be added to backer’s existing tiers. From pub glasses to wall scrolls, check out the list of available add-ons, instructions to add them to your existing pledge and pricing here.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digitalmanga/publish-kimagure-orange-road-classic-manga/posts/1540715

One of the more popular reward tier of this campaign which quickly sold out is the “$850-Orange PVC Madness” pledge tier, which features a PVC figurine of fan favorite character, Madoka, sporting a RED-hot bikini. Because of the strong demand for this specialized item, DMI has gone out of their way to bring in an additional 6 more available spots for this reward tier. Pledge here now!

Continuing with that momentum, Digital Manga is now also offering a brand new reward tier—Madoka’s Bikini Orange. This is a $950 level tier, which features a figurine of beautiful Madoka, this time in a sexy ORANGE bikini! Highly detailed, this PVC/ABS figure, approximately 1/8 scale (height 22 cm), comes from Heroine Memories Series Collection from the manufacturer, Megahouse. This also extremely limited imported item from Japan, is only being offer them to the first 5 pledges! The packaging will be signed by author, Izumi Matsumoto, making this item itself worth over $500! The $950-Madoka’s Bikini Orange reward tier will also include items from the KOR Beach, Madoka The “Tsundere”, Teen Romance and EMOTION reward tiers. Pledge here now!

Digital Manga Inc. (DMI), has high hopes that these additional updates will help shoot up the pledges to help fund the first stretch goal, Kimagure Orange Road Omnibus vol.2, which will then momentum the funding for the rest of the omnibus volumes at a much easier and faster pace.

Initial Goal Funded! DMI’s Crowd Funding For A Favorite 80’s Classic Is On Its Way!

Gardena, CA (April 6, 2016)
With almost amazing speed, the crowd funding power of the people has spoken… within a few day’s time, the initial goal of Digital Manga, Inc.’s project is funded! But it’s far from over. The funding is only for the first Omnibus. There are 5 volumes more to go! The first stretch goal of the campaign, of $56,900, will unlock Omnibus 2, (which collects the next 3 volumes of the original Japanese release.) Once unlocked, Kickstarter backers will be able to add-on this second volume to their new or existing pledge. From that, the momentum will easily pickup for funding of Omnibus 3, and so forth.

We have several reward tiers that have sold out! And requests for add-ons to be available from other reward tiers to be added to backer’s existing tiers. Comments and feedback from our supporters do not go ignored, and considerations for new add-ons and new tiers will be made over the course of the campaign, pending on the progress of the funding.

Again, Digital Manga Inc. (DMI), thanks all backers for their continued support, and would to remind all that the mission is not over! As of the 6th day into the campaign, we are still about 79K short from funding all volumes. Only with backer support can we hope to bring this wonder work to your hands.

We’re down to the last 72 hours of our Wonder 3 campaign and we have quite a hurdle to reach if we want to see this great three-book series published in English (in hardcover!). If you haven’t already let your friends and family know about this great Tezuka title, now’s the time!

Remember, you can pledge as little as $70 to get ALL THREE hardcovers in the “Shinichi Hoshi” pledge tier. We also still have several limited tiers open for pledges.

Black Jack at $151 (just THREE left!)

Go on a picnic! at $174 (limited to ONE!)

Leo/Kimba #2 at $218 (limited to TWO!)

We need 262 more backers at the $70 tier in the next three days to make this happen, and I know we can do it… That means that if you, our current backers, convinced just ONE person each to pledge for the “Shinichi Hoshi” tier, we’d make the goal with some $$ to spare. Let’s get a move on!

This’ll be your chance to start your summer collection, stock up gifts, or complete your series at dirt cheap prices!! Prices start as low as $3 for many items! If you missed out on any of this season’s conventions, then come to this! Free parking, Free admission, Free swag!

Enter into the gated parking lot of the tan business buildings… Digital Manga is the middle building on the top 3rd floor, suite 300…enter the lobby come up to the third floor via elevator. Follow the signs!

“I’ve come to trust DMP with not only my money, but with Tezuka’s reputation. I know that DMP will do their best to honor him and create a high-quality, wonderfully translated volume at a price that won’t break the bank.”
—Mahlon Landis, Clockwork Apple Kickstarter campaign backer

Mahlon is our very first Clockwork Apple Kickstarter campaign backer, but she’s definitely not a first timer! She hails from Oklahoma and is about to graduate with a degree in Language Arts Education. (Yay! Congratulations, Mahlon!) She loves “reading, writing, baking, ballet dancing, and getting crafty in [her] free time.” Besides her interest in anime and manga, she’s learning to code this year, so if anyone has website or book recommendations for HTML/CSS, Java, or Python lessons, we’re sure she’d be happy to hear them. (About learning to code, she says, “It’s kind of difficult, but it’ll be totally worth it in the end.”) A lady with a long list of favorites, Mahlon has been a fan of anime and manga for almost eleven years, and we’re glad she was willing to answer a few of our questions in what little spare time she has!

Digital Manga, Inc.: What was your first introduction to Osamu Tezuka’s work?

Mahlon Landis: My first job was shelving books at a local library, and one day I stumbled across Tezuka’s Buddha. It looked pretty interesting and different, so I checked it out and zoomed through all of the volumes in the matter of a month. It was moving, gorgeous to look at, and highly entertaining, which is something I’ve come to realize is the norm for Tezuka’s works.

DMI: What keeps you coming back for more?

ML: His ability to create incredibly human tales is amazing to me, and I keep coming back to him because I know I’ll always feel enlightened once I finish one of his books.

DMI: You’re the first backer to support this campaign! What enticed you to pledge so quickly?

ML: This is the fourth Tezuka Kickstarter that I’ve had the privilege of backing, and through all of that I’ve come to trust DMP with not only my money, but with Tezuka’s reputation. I know that DMP will do their best to honor him and create a high-quality, wonderfully translated volume at a price that won’t break the bank (which is important for a poor college kid like myself). I know that DMP will do the job right, and that’s why I jumped the gun and pledged so quickly.

DMI: You’re trying to convince a friend to also support this campaign; what do you tell them?

ML: Hey, you. Yeah, you. Manga is awesome. Tezuka is awesome! Don’t you want an opportunity to bring more Tezuka to the English-speaking world? Maybe want some cool swag, or a chance to get your name in the book? Want to be a part of something AWESOME? Then go pledge today! I promise you won’t regret it.

Currently, Mahlon is reading Kyoko Okazaki’s Helter Skelter and watching Sailor Moon Crystal and Ore Monogatri!! Check out her great list of favorites!

Brave Dan

I’m excited to let you know more about our FIRST STRETCH GOAL for $18,200 to print Brave Dan in English for the FIRST TIME EVER. So, here’s the deal.

ALL of our backers who pledge ANY amount ($1+) will receive a Brave Dan colorized, high definition desktop wallpaper, which will be created specifically for this campaign! All of the backers who pledge the “Back to Basics” tier and up ($20+) will ALSO receive a Brave Dan surprise when we ship out everyone’s rewards.

You may also, of course, ADD ON either the print or digital version of Brave Dan (or both!) to your current pledge.

After you’ve adjusted your pledge, please message us to let us know. We will make a note of it on our end and send you a confirmation.

We’re telling you more about this now so that you can plan your pledge, but please remember that we WILL NOT be able to provide these ADD ON items unless we reach the stretch goal of $18,200. So please spread the word so that we can print Brave Dan, too, and give you all what you’ve been waiting for!

Stretch Goal #2

When we reach $22,900, we’ll be able to reprint the Tezuka classic Barbara for fans who were unable to pick up a copy from the first printing! If and when this happens, we’ll let you know how to add on to your order a print copy of Barbara! (You can ADD ON the digital version right now!) ALSO, we’ll have freebies for every backer; MORE INFORMATION ONCE THIS GOAL IS UNLOCKED.
